looking into getting a full system for my 16v 2i.

im looking for something thats not really loud when your driving normally, but if you give it some then i want a real deep roar :devil:

Just wondering what some people have got and how they rate them?

Mongoose generally wins out in this debate for power and sound. Do a search, it gets asked about once a month :lol:

by **chumkila** on Tue May 06, 2003 12:18 pm

@heeman. Yea go for Mongoose, not that i would tho.

by **heeman10** on Tue May 06, 2003 12:20 pm

That's cos you're "special" Chum

Square indicators and Halfords tailpipes, just to be original

by **chumkila** on Tue May 06, 2003 12:46 pm

Aiiiiiiiiiiii Just keepin it real!

by **Fiestasi-Andy** on Tue May 06, 2003 1:14 pm

Mongoose

, i got one on my Si it will be the same as your system

by **Nick 2i** on Tue May 06, 2003 2:05 pm

Yeah ive heard mongoose are the best for sound quality, but ive heard there not the best fitting wise :-?

by **Fiestasi-Andy** on Tue May 06, 2003 2:09 pm

who told you that, it fitted like a glover

by **Nick 2i** on Tue May 06, 2003 2:22 pm

a glover?

is that one of your ex-birds or something :lol:

Right nice one mate, i think i will be getting a full mongoose very soon :wink:

by **Andy Si** on Tue May 06, 2003 2:23 pm

Having had two of the three (Scorpion & Magnex) on mime i would go for the Magnex.

Superb fit, has the tone characteristics that your after and is less restrictive imo than the Scorpion

Get a 4" pipe aswell :wink:

I ordered mine through X-Factor Motorsport (01753 632811, website) so give Jay a bell

by **Nick 2i** on Tue May 06, 2003 2:26 pm

andy did you have an induction kit on your si as well?

[ERRR] my bro has a full magnex on his 8v 2i, with a standard air box, but it sounds pretty quiet. :-?

Nick 2i :andy did you have an induction kit on your si as well?

[ERRR] my bro has a full magnex on his 8v 2i, with a standard air box, but it sounds pretty quiet.

Got a K&N at the mo but have run it without.

by **Nick 2i** on Tue May 06, 2003 2:30 pm

ah right, cheers mate.

i dunno what to go for now mongoose or magnex :lol:

by **Andy Si** on Tue May 06, 2003 2:32 pm

Go with the Magnex mate

by **Nick 2i** on Tue May 06, 2003 2:39 pm

ah might as well

by **chumkila** on Tue May 06, 2003 2:57 pm

Respec'

by **16VSi** on Tue May 06, 2003 9:33 pm

I've said it once and I'll say it again MAGNEX!

by **Phil Si** on Tue May 06, 2003 10:20 pm

1st things first, we are talking N/A tuning here, so power aint really an issue...

its gonna be down to build quality and noise

i got magnex, its pretty quiet when driving normal, but when u boot it the noise is nice

also build quality is excellent

its upto what type u want.... noisy or subtle ?

by **Nick 2i** on Wed May 07, 2003 10:50 am

Well i dont want something that is welll loud even when its idleing.

but i do want a nice deep roar if i give it some :devil:

sounds like magnex is the one im after

by **chumkila** on Wed May 07, 2003 10:51 am

thou should never questionith chumkila.

by **16VSi** on Wed May 07, 2003 11:55 am

Nick 2i : sounds like magnex is the one im after

It most certainly is!

by **Nick 2i** on Wed May 07, 2003 1:40 pm

16v si - you got one then mate? :lol:

by **MuttleyMcLad** on Wed May 07, 2003 2:37 pm

get the magnex bro!!

best quality fit!!

by **DeanoW** on Wed May 07, 2003 4:55 pm

ive got a full mongoose system on my 16v, and along with an induction kit, magnex de-cat and 2l TB you can really hear it coming :devil:

, but the bloody thing keeps knocking against the fuel tank and has already got surface rust on the pipe and its only 4 months old

by **Nick 2i** on Wed May 07, 2003 5:27 pm

deano - would you recommend one then?

the bad fit thing doesnt sound too good :-?

i wanna make sure i get one im happy with [ERRR] i will have to keep it for a while!

Cheers

by **chumkila** on Wed May 07, 2003 5:33 pm

Nick its 4 months old and got rust. Do u think he's recommending it?

by **Nick 2i** on Wed May 07, 2003 11:03 pm

thats a good point chum, now i look like a right retard :lol:

although i thought stainless steel didnt rust :-?

by **Phil Si** on Thu May 08, 2003 1:17 am

get one like this!!

by **DeanoW** on Thu May 08, 2003 8:11 am

go for the Magnex cos there is no lifetime guarantee on the mongoose and its not stainless steel

by **16VSi** on Thu May 08, 2003 8:42 am

Nick 2i :16v si - you got one then mate?

Yep

I think Magnex exhausts are standard equipment on TVR's, Aston Martins and Ferrrari's. This shows the quality of them and they are willing to back it up with a lifetime guarantee.

by **Nick 2i** on Thu May 08, 2003 9:18 am

@ phil

sounds like magnex is the one
